I have two sets of axles from disc brake set up and they are all the same length but I also have a set from drum brake commercial and one is shorter then the other by 13mm. The parts book only lists one part number for both axles for each vehicle eg tonner axle p/n, wagon,sedan,ute axle p/n and Statesman (disc brake) axle p/n (longer studs). It seems to me there is no longer axle but I cannot understand why this ute diff I have has a shorter axle. Cheers Lee

It is actually one of the pair of disc brake axles I have which has a longer one in the set. I did not remove these as I received the diff in a disassembled state. With comparing everything I have

The disc brake axle also has a smaller flange and a longer centre hub, plus longer studs. I also forgot to mention in my original post

The difference lies in the spacer that sits between the wheel bearing and the plate that bolts to the diff flange. You can convert a drum brake axle to a disc brake axle b

You can't fit HZ/WB rear disc rotors over the flange of drum-brake axles & the distance from the bearing ridge to the flange face is less on the disc brake axles. The spacer in the bearing kit

This isn't enough to cause a problem though... That spacer is required when using the disc brake setup as they are thicker and if not used you would have play in and out

You then still have t

You can also fit Commodore rear disc brakes to a HQ-WB 10-bolt, but not sure of the specifics. Another simple mod is to get Holden ends and mounts welded onto an XA-XC 9" housing. If you get th

Oh and VH commo wheel bearings. I plan to run a late model non-irs diff in my HZ and get the ax

After looking at my two axles a bit more carefully and comparing them with standard ones(drum brake) and reading all the comments, it appears I have one standard disc brake axle and one drum brake axle modifie

I think that should work OK, just make sure you use some tough bolts on the caliper mounts. If you mount it 10mm further out then the shear stress under heavy braking would be much more than standard. Have you thought of having th

The problem with the seal is
